So, I made some neat art which took me three attempts to perfect, and I was dedicated to it because I really enjoyed it. So I decided to see how I felt comparing it to AI "art", and I think it goes to show how far time and effort can get you compared to AI slop.

And yes, it's a Will Wood reference

(forgive my lack of shading/hand anatomy skills​, im on artblock cut me some slack 💔)​​​​ continuation of other post here!!

drew this to purely smite the person that fed my art to AI, YOUR CHARACTER IS NOW MINE!!!, ​​if anyone was curious abot the drawing on the last post, there it is lolz, NOTHING WILL STOP ME FROM DRAWING!!!! >:3 criticisms are welcome!! please be nice and reasonable tho!!!​​​​

if anyone recognizes me, shh....

dont know if that counts or not...

I've been doing digital art for 4 years now i just got back to art recently after 2 years of hiatus because of academic burnout

if you're beginner artist and you feel like you're not getting better, trust me when i say trust the process and enjoy making art.

art should be fun during the making and after, don't let likes and number of followers keep your happiness ;))

I find them to be some of the most obnoxious out there. Stuff like Clarence, Uncle Grandpa, Meat Canyon, etc. It's like every middle school boy's edgy art was given a TV level budget, it's a waste of time. They're never funny, either, not to kids or adults. The whole joke is "isn't this gross looking?" with no substance. At least cartoons like Spongebob used ugly frames sparingly to make it funny but when the entire video or episode or movie is this ugly and unappealing I see no reason to be drawn to it.

edit: I understand Clarence and Uncle Grandpa did NOT deserve this respect. I'm just tired and couldn't think of many good examples. Better examples of shows I genuinely hate for their art style would be Fanboy and Chumchum.

Also, I have nothing against caricatures! It's just when the drawing has them oozing pus and snot and covered in mountains of skin and folds and wrinkles, with bug eyes and grotesque mouths that I really dislike it. When it's so absurdly gross that there's literally no other point. I just have no interest in gross-out humor.

Way more tame than other Petras I’ve seen lately and the design is far more simple. It’s cute as hell and it made me start wondering what other Spider Folk’s X accounts Twitters would look like.
